May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. In response to that and our Bags of Fun KC Mental Health Awareness Initiative, the staff at 1248 sponsored and stuffed 30 mental health Bags of Fun during a “power lunch” at their office space. These mental health bags of fun will go to both adolescents who are inpatient at Crittenton Children’s Place as well as those in the new IOP (Intensive Outpatient Program) at Marillac.
Each mental health bag of fun contains items meant to offer educational opportunities, enhance self-reflection, creative expression, stress relief, and cooperative play.Thank you to the 1248 family for believing in the power of play and helping us bring joy, laughter, and relief to these often forgotten about adolescents!
